The crude behind Hungary's road diesel
Assumptions
- Exports are assumed to be drawn from every source in proportion to its share of supply.
- Each country's refineries are assumed to run on its crude-import mix over the latest three months.
- The chain looks back one country only; fuel re-exported through a supplier is not followed further.
- The crude origin is the producing country the statistics report, not the loading terminal, so the Hormuz answer is a range wherever a producer loads both inside and outside the Persian Gulf.
In June 2026, the largest single source of road diesel available in Hungary was Slovakia (33%), followed by Hungary's own refineries (26%).
Slovakia's refineries ran on crude from Russia (57%), the United Kingdom (11%) and Switzerland (10%), going by its crude imports in April–June 2026.
Taken together, an estimated 34% of the crude behind Hungary's road diesel came from Russia, 10% from Libya and 5% from Kazakhstan; 36% cannot be traced.
The largest untraced part (24%) is there because we hold no crude import statistics for Saudi Arabia.
Up to 38% of the crude behind Hungary's road diesel is estimated to have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, a significant dependence judged on the upper bound. No midpoint is published: crude that cannot be traced is counted as anything from none to all of it.
This is an estimate, not a reported figure: it assumes exports are drawn proportionally from every source and that each country's refineries run on its crude-import mix, and it looks back only one country.
